SCH Decompaction Rake - Ref DCR

Description

The Decompaction Rake (DCR) has been expertly engineered to alleviate surface compaction and restore performance characteristics on third-generation (3G) artificial turf systems. Designed for ease of use and consistent results, the DCR ensures your playing surfaces remain safe, responsive, and well-maintained.

Key Features and Benefits

• Effective Compaction Relief
  The DCR’s front row of spring tines penetrates the surface, lifting and loosening compacted rubber or sand infill while de-matting the turf fibres to restore surface porosity and resilience.

• Precise Levelling and Finishing
  Following the tines, two rows of levelling bars redistribute and smooth the loosened infill material evenly across the surface. A rear strip brush provides the final grooming pass, ensuring a clean, professional finish.

• Durable Four-Wheel Chassis
  Built on a robust four-wheel frame for stability and smooth operation.

  • Front wheels: Solid castors for excellent manoeuvrability and tight turning.

  • Rear wheels: Adjustable jacklegs for easy transport and height control.

• Adjustable Tines and Brush
  The spring tines are fully adjustable, allowing operators to fine-tune penetration depth and working pressure based on surface conditions. The rear brush can also be raised or lowered to suit different maintenance needs (note: the brush should not be used in isolation).

• Integrated Carrying Tray
  Includes a built-in tray for convenient storage of small tools, litter, or accessories during operation.

• Ready to Use
  Delivered fully assembled, ensuring quick setup and immediate usability.

The DCR Decompaction Rake is a reliable, efficient solution for routine maintenance of 3G artificial surfaces — combining mechanical precision with practical design to extend the lifespan and play quality of synthetic pitches.
